Overview

About 26 Bolingbroke Close

It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows an F (score 29), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since August 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 26 Bolingbroke Close is modelled from its 65 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 1NZ. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 26 Bolingbroke Close. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 26 Bolingbroke Close was lodged in March 2026 at band F and is valid until March 2036. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 26 Bolingbroke Close. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 15 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM3 1NZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
26 Bolingbroke Close is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
